Minnesota Farmers most read blogs

This is me

A busy mind in many places. One of my children was asked what I did for a living. The list given includes my main occupation of farming but also goes on to school bus driver, carpentry, furniture making, developer, designer, landscaping, handyman and more. I've traveled in most states of the union (I'm missing two) and several foreign countries. My favorite vacation is a trip to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. I like to read. Favorite authors include western author Louis L'Amour, science fiction writer Anne McCaffrey and architect Sarah Susanka. I like to sing and am a bass in our local barbershop chorus. In church I also prefer the bass part. My best friend and wife, Karen, and I have 3 children who are all busy and happily building their own lives. We have twin granddaughters born in September 2011 and another granddaughter born in April 2014.

When you blog, you always hope there will be that one day you write the viral blog, the one that is so over the top that your readership doubles. Little did I realize that I wrote that one almost a year ago, and it had humble origins. It was all about a snow fence.

The art of the snow fence seems to be getting a lot of attention lately. My readership has more than doubled in the last two months all over a blog I wrote a year ago. So thanks to all of you out there building a snow fence for the first time who are reading about my humble efforts. I’m glad I could be of help.
